Newsweek opens a can of whoop-ass on Trump.

One of my favorite writers, Kurt Eichenwald at Newsweek, has been plunging knives into Trump for weeks. The articles have mostly been open letters to Paul Ryan urging him to withdraw his endorsement of Trump. He is also the one who turned the conspiracy theory about Clinton’s health into a story about Trump’s ridiculous doctor letter. (He stunned a Trump surrogate on CNN who wanted to talk about the conspiracy theory by taking out the letter on the air and declaring it fake.)

Snip......

Which leads back to my original question, Mr. Speaker: What is the Republican Party today? What is it you’re endorsing in this campaign? If you believe the GOP stands for racism, xenophobia, protectionism, nuclear proliferation, torture, war crimes, the reckless use of military force and fanboy support for a powerful and conniving dictator who threatens America, then please proceed.

actual Trump scandals would be the ones opening cans of whoop-ass. I'm glad he's doing his job and calling out his profession for failing so miserably.
